Why Our Translation Quality Is So High
- Our translations are checked at all levels by staff with experience in software development and localization.
- We ensure sentence and vocabulary consistency by using a translation software specialized dictionary, tools developed in-house, and Trados.
Leave the checking up to our staff who are well-versed in the linguistic and IT fields. We have accumulated a great deal of know-how about delivering a top -notch product over the years, and our staff who fully understand the content will be in charge of translation and proofreading. Localization consultation is also available.
We can guarantee consistency between terms and writing styles by using translation memory software like Trados. Furthermore, we can perform automatic, side by side, technical, and native checks in different stages with our own tools to find mistranslations or missing translations. Doing so makes our translations sound natural while remaining easy to read.

Localization
We can meet your software localization and internationalization needs with our wide-ranging expertise and know-how of language processing and IT.
To achieve great success in the world of software, it is essential to establish your product as the number-one de facto standard in its field. To achieve this goal, it is vital to develop and sell versions of your product in different languages, where UI resources such as menus and dialog boxes, and information for users such as help and manuals, are translated into respective languages. This is called localization.
We can offer comprehensive localization services, which include:

- testing and debugging
Use of translation software?
We do not depend on our translation software for this service, but we are planning to customize our software for localization. Feel free to consult us about your needs.
Our reputation
We enjoy a good reputation from our clients for linguistic and stylistic consistency with the help of some translation memory software and terminology management software. Some of the projects that we have undertaken include:
- Japanese version of a major US company's application development software
- Versions in six European languages of a major Japanese company's print job management software
Internationalization
Internationalization is a process of converting software to be independent of language and locality. This should be done at an early stage of development to enable localization later. However, this process is not yet popular because of its high costs. Another option is to undertake internationalization at the same time as localization, and we can also offer you comprehensive help with this process. Feel free to consult us about your needs.
